As we reach the middle of summer, it’s time to look at the trends that have emerged as the big winners. In terms of pants, there are five styles that have taken over the streets, shop windows, and social networks.

Our roundup of the need-to-know trends is anchored in a summertime classic pattern: the nautical stripe. Dopamine-inducing colors coupled with breezy wide-leg silhouettes make the timeless print feel a bit more of the moment. Plus, the vertical trend is also a petite girl hack for leg-lengthening magic.

If your sartorial appetite prefers more minimalist takes, you’ll appreciate the quiet luxury linen trend that’s ruling this summer. Some of the pants on our most-wanted list even come with coordinating tops that make getting dressed to impress a cinch.

For a full rundown of what’s ruling this summer, read on—and don’t forget to shop your favorite styles for a quick and easy way to salute the season in style.

Striped Pants

Striped pants conquered street style, and now they are making it into the catalogs of our favorite brands as well. They are a fun, summery design that also elongates the legs.

Cargo Pants

Cargo pants were at the top of trends lists even before summer, and they have continued to be fashionable this season. They are part of a bigger return to ‘90s and ‘00s fashion, and it is not surprising that this practical garment is back in our lives. Celebrities like Bella Hadid, Zendaya, and Kim Kardashian have been spotted wearing the pants, giving an A-list stamp of approval to the trend. For the summer season cargo pants typically have wider silhouettes and are made of warm-weather fabrics.

Linen Pants

They are comfortable, versatile, fresh, elegant, and easy to wear. Wide linen pants have conquered fashion this summer. It’s a look that is synonymous with the season, and you need to pack a pair before you head out for your beach weekend.

Grey Jeans

For summer 2023, blue jeans have gone grey. They are just as versatile as the classic blue jeans but the color gives them a special distinction. You won’t have to look far at your favorite stores to find them in a variety of shades and styles.

Baggy Jeans

At the same, another trend when it comes to jeans this summer has been baggy cuts. Designers showed a variety of baggy, wide, and straight silhouettes. They were seen on the catwalks of brands like Balenciaga, Celine, and Balmain and now they have become one of the hot looks of summer 2023.
